8 - Pedri

[JamDav1982]

Nah.... just like to correct your nonsense.

57 through balls... sensational. Plucked from thin air.

Do better.

Incidentally.. FDJ.. 'cant pass ball forward' was 3rd in La Liga for through balls this season.. not bad from deep midfield.

 

[vegitot]

Pedri ranks first in through ball in Liga (total, per game, per 90).

Very rare for a 20 years old.

 

[vegitot]

If he wasn't out injured he'd probably finish with 10 goals & 57 through balls, just one shy of the goat.

Should have more than just 1 assist.

There's a rumour of LE wanting Pedri at PSG. Probably lazy journalism, but say Verratti ends up in Saudi smoking habiska would you take 120m? (Bellingham, Declan Rice fee basically).

Part B) How do you replace him for 70m max?

B. Silva just as a thought experiment

Or

Xavi: "He has already been replaced"

...
"Now bring me this man"

Not a bad idea either actually, xavi would love it

 

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

Barca wouldn't sell Pedri for 200m let alone 120m. Spanish tax, Weak Tax and White Tax. This cat is a keeper.

Lucho can have Ferran and Gavi for that money.

Would probably love Gavi. Should send Jammy over there to negotiate the sale.

No fucking way! He's too special of a player. They don't grow on threes. If by 25 or so he shows signs of stalling any development and isn't good enough, then okay. For now we absolutely need to stick to this gem of a player even, if he's inconsistent. He basically defines Barca playstyle that made as fans of the club to begin with.

 

[vegitot]

Remind me that when lost to PSG, Koeman said Pedri in 5 years will be better than any PSG midfielders. Doesn't take 5 years though

 

[jamrock]

Best player at one of the biggest clubs in the world at 21, stunning stuff

Hope he learns a thing or two from Gundogan while he's here.

 

[JamDav1982]

Nah he isnt Barcas best player....yet and hasnt been in a single season yet either.

Last season MATS, Araujo, Christensen, FDJ were all better but he can be soon.

Barca were largely fine and beating Real x2 with Pedri out.. then FDJ goes out and its 4-0 to Real etc.

Folk with this nonsense of 'learning from others' like its Football Manager.

Actually 20 years old. Stunning.

I can see much better season for Pedri next as Xavi promises to give him full freedom (100 passes per game). He will move freely like Jamdav posted above
